Effects OfIhe Recent Earthquake
 in Mexico.

Authentic information received from Mir. G. w. Lang, of Batetto near the San Bernardino ranch in Mexico, as to the destruction of life and property by the recent earthquake, shows that the story of its severity has not half been told2in fact language could hardly exaggerate the phenomenal operation of this worldly dis turber, which, by way of freaks of nature, was uncommonly plentiful. Between the San Bernardino and Batetto ranches a lake covering a number of acres almost immediately after the shock entirely dis appeared, and most astonishing not fish was left on its bottom, although it was well known to contain many. Previous to it's grand collapse it was seen to shoot in the air like a great fountain to the height of at least one hundred feet. Ac- companying this vast body of water III its flight was a boulder that weighed ton. This great missile was landed on an ele- vation some thirty feet above the surface of the lake. During all this time the earth was violently moving with an undu- lating motion, making 1t difficult to stand, and at the same time there was an angry rumbling; and to heighten the terror of the occasion the booming of the distant earthquake artillery could be distinctly heard. Ninety-nine out of every hun dred of the people were in praying at titude, as they were sure that the Day of Judgment had come. Tremendous changes have occurred along the west side of the Sierra Madres. Commencing at Elisa creek and ending at Lang's Ba- tetto ranch, distance of thirty miles, the earth had sunk all along from ten to thirty feet. All the old trails leading over the mountains have been des truyed
 The sink IS so broken that no traveller dare go across it, so there is now consid- erable travel via the San Bernardino and Batetto ranches. At Sheriff Slaughter s San Bernardino ranch every house on the place was shaken to the ground. Out of seven thousand adobes that they were built with, there were but one hundred and twenty whole ones recovered from the ruins. The centre of the shock seems to have been at San Bernardino, Batetto and Bavispe, with headq quarters at Bavispe. Here it destroyed the town, killed one hundred people and closed the horrors of the day by swallowing up three houses, in one of which there was girl
 Deep pools of water now stand where once were the happy homes of three fam flies. As an illustration of how the country for miles is broken up by rents and chasms, the relief pack train that was sent from Huasavas to Bavispe, dis tance of forty miles, it took it nine days to make the trip. MT. Lang says that the earth has been in almost constant tremor ever since the ever-to-be-remen- bered Sd day of May, and that they had tremendous shock there three nights since and verylively one day before yes rday.-Tombstone Epitaph,

THE people of Florence must learn to encourage the boom that is now setting in towards this delightful place. Not only Is it essential to lay the facts of our advantages before the people of the east, but strangers coming to examine for themselves must be properly entertained and in no manner discouraged. Fancy prices for property will work ruin to the opportunity for advantageous sales and drive intending purchasers into other fields. By all means should our property owners secure permanent settlers, even by selling them lot or two at very low prices, If necessary. One who is identi- lied with the growth and prosperity of our town will take pains to spread good reports among his neighbors in the east when he returns home, and others will be sure to come. The right plan, there
 fore, is to get strangers to purchase, even if no immediate profit is made. The value of his presence will enhance other adjacent lots, and the next sale will likely more than make amends for the trrtilng loss. We mt Ist nurse the in fant boom and notyI-:--~-i.---y-rl4i

TIE Citizen republishes Silver Belt article upon the assessment of cattle that virtually arraigns nearly all the cattle men in the Territory upon a charge of perjury in returning live stock property to the assessor. We do not believe the stookmen to be naturally bereft of nor als in greater degree than are men en- gagged in other pursuits, and the charge made against them is applicable with like force to all mankind The further alle- gatien that the assessment of cattle at an average valuation of SIS to S15 per head IS not excessive and oppressive will hardly meet the appreciation of all fair minded 'msn. fhe past season has oesn Une ur continuous disaster to the cattle interests, and in southern Arizona particularly the future looks gloomy indeed. Hardly one cattle owner in score has made ex- penses, but on the contrary has lost heavily by the drouth and depreciation in price. Property owners generally sell dom return the full cash value of their possessions for taxation, and yet the cat tie man is compelled to pay upon valu- ation at which but few can realize if they desired to sell. We believe the taxation should be more justly capitalized.

Earthquakes.

A dispatch from the City of Mexico, dated May 29th, reports severe earth quake shock. It says: 'At ten minutes felt here violent shaking of the earth, or sort of lifting motion, which lasted five seconds. Next there came, prefaeed by loud roar and accompanied by stiff breeze, violent oscillation n of the earth from east to west, which awoke nearly every one, lasting, as it did, thirty-nine seconds. Houses swayed as If they were ships at sea, and persons arising from their beds were in many cases thrown with force to the floor. Bells were rung in hotels, and everywhere doors were forced open. Then came still another oscill llation of much more violence, pro- cseding from north to south. During this shock crockery was thrown down and pictures demolished in several houses. Thousands of persons dressed themselves and did not go to bed again. Reports received to-day by Governor Ceballos do not show any fatalities as the result of the earthquake, and denizens of sub urban towns report about the same sen- sations as were felt by the inhabitants of the metropolis. At the School of Mines, Secretary Ugalde reports that the seismic instruments show that heavy shock had taken place. These instruments are self registering, and prove that the shock oi this morning was severe one At ths office of Governor Ceballos it is reported that the shock was much more severe than that of 1882"
 A dispatch from Rome says four shocks were felt the same day at Tesi, one shocl -b-;Ay of -grsat'-vieieHoo.- other-p -plaee were also visited by the earthquake.

THE valley of the Gila, including the Salt River valley, from Florence to Yuma, should not only supply all the Arizona demand for fruits, vegetables and cereals, but it is capable of prOduc- ing enough to create large export trade. Such favorable conditions for the growth of almost every product of the temper ate zone, as we'll as semi-tropical fruits, exist nowhere else in the world. The country is one full of wonders and possi- bilitiss, and will yet startle the world with it's abundance.

TRE Tucson Star very truthfully Ob- serves that the great boom just now beginning to be felt in Salt River valley will next reach Pinal county, along the Gila, and then Pima county on the Santa Cruz. Already the first unmistak- able signs of the coming grand rush of people are being seen, and only inan- oial panic can change the current of coming events. The boom in Pinal county has already signalled its pres encs; the very atmosphere is dense with the active spirit of new enterprise, and the full esor of grand boom is but short distance of. IR this grand valley there is broad and permanent banis for all the human energy and enterprise that seeks a congenial field eff activity Water in sufficient quantities is availa.. bls and the most fertile land in the world is abundant. The only thing nec- essary is to bring the tive together, and then tell all the world the glad news. What has been done in Southern Cali fOrnia is more easy of accomplishment in this section, while the results to be ob- tainsd are far more desirable and valua- ble.

TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER.
Charles St. Clair. an Indianapolis Fakir, Ar
rested for Killing HorSe-Jockey.

On the night of the 4th of last June Theodore
Tate, horse jockey, was murdered and robbed
at Columbus, this State. The crime COM
and all efforts of the local officers to find the
murderer were unsuccessful Six weeks ago
Detective Grady, of this city, was employed to.
ferret out the crime, and in less than two weeks
he had secured enough evidence against Charles
st. Clair to warrant his arrest The county fair
was in progress at Columbus when the murder
occurred, and st. Clair, with companion named
"Club-foot Johnny" and George Kerby, two
notorious criminals, were attending the fair and
running a confidence game. Mr.. Grady found
several eyewitnesses to the crime, who fur
nished the evidence that st. Clair saw Tate
draw his pay, $50. and went out with him
and got him drunk. About midnight
he enticed Tate to lonely spot down the
railroad, and. drawing coupling pin from a
car. struck the blow that ended his life One OF
these witnesses, Charles Brand swore out
warrant for St. Clair's arrest, and Grady then
set about to find his man.
st Glars home has always been in this city,
but his business-as gambler and confidence
man-kept him away the greater part or TIE
time. He has been wanted i'll different parts OF
the country for three years for various crimes,
and whenever he called npon his wife here he
always came and went at night disguised. The
detectives watched his house for two weeks, hut
he did not come, and man was then sent on the
road to hunt him. Traces of him were found IN
Louisville, ST. Louis. Cincinnati. and other
cities, but he eluded tho police, who were in
structed to be on the lookout Tor him. The first
of the week Detective Grady received from the
chief of police of Cleveland, O.. a de-
scription of conidence-man there
who thought to be St Clair.
A man was Immediately sent to Cleveland to fol-
low up the clew, and yesterday morning the
rest was made. Mr.. Grady was notified by tele-
graph. and, with requistion papers from Gov.
Gray. started for his man last night st. Clair
will be taken TO Columbus for trial
St Clair has been known criminal of the
worst kind. His real name is not St Clair, and
no one seems to know what it is. When he was
young man he was sent to the peDitentiary.
and took the name Of St CLAIR. which he has
borne since. He was suspected of being inn
plicated in the noted Long Point murder. and
was arrested for the crime, bnt, on account of a
lack OF evidence, he was acquitted Detective
Grady will secure large reward if the prisoner
is convicted.
